Hello

Hello, This is my first experience trying to write a blog and i find it difficult to think of what to say. The assignment is to write about my past English experience, so i guess that is what i will do. Like most people i have only a normal English background consisting of high school classes. I did take some journalism classes in high school which were English credits, so i am considering that as part of my English history. Other than that i don't have very many exciting stories about English classes.
Another part of this assignment was to talk about what i hope to get out of this class. I guess other than fulfilling the requirement and getting the credits, i hope to get a better understanding of how people respond to your writing and how to respond to other people's writing. Originally i was not looking forward to this class because of the small size and reputation for being just like a high school English class. and while i was correct about the size of the class feeling like high school. The way the class sounds like its run by using blog format instead of traditional papers, i think could be very interesting.
So now that i think i have completed the assignment ill talk a little about myself. I am an aviation major and have been flying since i was 15. I'm originally from Plano Texas, but grew up in Gahanna Ohio. Along with my parents Noel and Gary, i have a younger sister Grace. I guess you will be reading somewhat about them as well because the class is based around family. Well i think I'm done for this assignment.

  1. Hi Andrew,

    Glad to hear that you're pleasantly surprised by the format of the class. Thanks for giving me some background on your family and your English career.

    I've always wondered who named Gahanna. The name is very close to a particularly undesirable biblical spot, and it seems to me that early settlers would have been in the know about that!

    Good job here. Keep an eye on some grammatical things, though (fragments): "and while I was correct about the size of the class feeling like high school."

    And I bet you do have some interesting stories about class and family. We'll hope to draw them out of you.

    I look forward to subsequent posts. Good job.
